No pap shots to gawk at,no Oscar dresses to critique,no front-page split ups to gossip about..would this be good or bad??

Ups and downs of a fame-free universe:

Upside : We might be closer to our families and friends.Imagine the collective mental energy that's been expended speculating with your friends about,say,Angelina going through " a difficult time" with Brad.If you didn't care so much about celebrity relationships,you might have a little more time to care about your own.

Downside : We would be driving fewer Toyota PriusesIf it weren't for the aura of glamour that some Hollywood luminaries have bestowed on a certain sort of eco-consciousness,the world would probably be headed towards ecological Armageddon a bit faster.Take the Toyota Prius hybrid,it looks a bit naff but has a reputation for being cutting-edge,even sexy,simply because Cameron Diaz drives it.Improbable but true : Cam is good for the environment.

Downside : You'd somehow seem less hotIn a superstar-free world,fashion models would probably take over as our main beauty icons.Imagine having to compare yourself with these symbols of impossible perfection -without the wild-card counterbalancing effect that hollywood serves up? From Sarah Jessica Parker to Queen Latifah and Kirsten Dunst,celebrity culture has,improbably,broadened our notions of coolness and attractiveness.

Upside : 12-year-old girls wouldn't dress like women of the nightThink about it: if Paris Hilton and countless other pop stars and starlets hadn't normalized youthful call-girl-wear,there is no way parents would have ever started letting their teens and pre-teens out of the house dressed like that,for heaven's sake.
